Three modern men try to get in touch with their inner tough guys and redefine what it means to be a 'real man.'
A virile new comedy that follows the struggles of three modern male archetypes as they search for their identities and try to prove that "real men" really can use hazelnut creamer.
Kenny gets jealous when Will and Grant strike up an unlikely "bromance." Things go from bad to worse when he finds out Grant is coming to the weekly Keen Sunday dinner. In an attempt to strike some common ground, the guys try a "Star Wars" screening, a film Kenny is obsessed with, but Grant has never seen.
After Craig and Kenny clash, Will suggests they try working on a project together; Theresa asks Will to take an improv class with her; Brenda longs for time alone.
When Kenny admits he hasn't had a date since his divorce from Brenda -- and that Brenda is the only woman he has ever slept with -- the guys, including Grant, take him clubbing to jump start his love life. But things don't go as planned, especially when a friend of Theresa's sees Will and thinks he's stepping out on his wife.
Will buys his son a cell phone; Kenny screws things up when he meets Jane's parents; Theresa installs a tracking device on Will's phone.
Will struggles to take the high road after a kid at school starts bullying Nathan, especially after Theresa tells him the kid’s mom is on the school board, which Theresa is lobbying for funding for the science club.
After they find out that Nathan's allergic, the whole family goes on a gluten free diet, which leads to a weird competition between Will and Theresa to see who can keep the diet up longer, and for Brenda, who's trying to convince health-conscious Grant she can live without it. Problem is, they're all cheating. Meanwhile, it's all fast food, all the time for Craig and Kenny as they romance two ladies who work at Big Burger.
Will hopes that adopting a baby chick for little Lucy will be a "teachable moment" about where food comes from, but things get out of hand when all of the guys decide they want to adopt chicks too; Craig dates an attractive doctor, but finds himself intimidated by her bully of a son.
The guys camp out all night at Price Best for a hot video game.
Will installs a new home security system, but instead of making everyone feel safer, the system keeps tripping and wreaks havoc in all their lives. Meanwhile Craig reconnects with Lisa, the girl whose wedding he broke up; and Grant convinces Kenny to play a "trust the universe" game with him with his new GPS, letting the GPS randomly select their destination: Kenny is convinced it will eventually lead to disaster, but instead he and Grant end up on a series of wild adventures, which eventually finds Kenny meeting his "Star Wars" hero, Billy Dee Williams.
The guys' plans for a video game tournament go south.
Will offers to fix Kenny's car for him.
Will's boss Mr. Donahue overhears him telling a story and promotes him.
